Default Re: 1969 BBC OB Van @ Avro Air Fair

Yes I think Steve told me that it was stored on a site in Shropshire? for a long time and that just the task of sorting the unit mechanically, getting it to run and having to sort a low loader transport was a mammoth job in itself, before carrying out the main restoration. When the BBC Studios on Oxford Road Manchester closed down, it was a featured on the Local TV news. His OB Van was parked up and running in the yard but they didn't really make enough use of it I thought. Too complex possibly, although he was [briefly] interviewed. I will have it recorded somewhere!
